'''''Everything Changes''''' was the first episode in [[Series 1 (Torchwood)|series 1]] of ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]''.


When [[Torchwood]] arrives on the scene of a brutal murder, WPC [[Gwen Cooper]]'s burning curiosity is challenged. Their attitude, their approach and their technology is at odds with everything she believes in. But investigating the investigators leads her into a dark, paranoid world she never imagined existed.
It introduced the programme's regular characters, as well as recurring elements such as [[the Hub]], [[Myfanwy]], [[retcon]] and the [[Torchwood SUV]].


== Sypnosis ==In Cardiff, the dead body of a young male lies in a pool of blood in the torrential rain, surrounded by police officers and forensic scientists. WPC Gwen Cooper arrives on the scene and joins her partner PC Andy. The identity of the murder victim is not yet known, but before the investigators can go about their work, everyone is suddenly told to leave the area. The situation is confused and no one really seems to know what’s going on, but Gwen is told they’ve received orders from above to clear the site to give access to a Special Ops unit called Torchwood. At that moment, a vehicle arrives and four people in civilian clothes, led by Captain Jack Harkness, emerge and quickly take control of things. The police are furious about the possible contamination of evidence, but there’s nothing anyone can do. Gwen slips away and goes to an upper floor of the nearby multi-storey car park so she can watch the new arrivals unobserved.  
Written by [[Russell T Davies]], it had the distinction of being his only writing credit until the [[series 3 (Torchwood)|third series]]. It also bore certain structural commonalities with {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, Davies's first episode of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. Whereas the earlier script had introduced the mysterious [[Ninth Doctor]] through the eyes of [[Rose Tyler]], ''Everything Changes'' introduced its audience to the mysterious figure of Captain [[Jack Harkness]] through female protagonist [[Gwen Cooper]]. Indeed, long-standing fans of Davies's work would have recognised the structure from as far back as his early-1990s children's TV programme, {{wi|Dark Season}}.


While his colleagues set up equipment around the dead man, Jack tells them he can taste estrogen in the rain, no doubt caused by the Pill being flushed away, then entering the water cycle and leading to contraceptives in the rain. At least he won’t get pregnant - he never wants to do that again! The others are ready and one of them, Suzie Costello, puts on a strange metallic glove. They’re obviously waiting for something to happen, but the glove hasn’t ‘connected’ yet and Suzie says they have to wait for it to grant her access. Just then, the glove links with her and the group move into pre-set positions around the body. The third member of the group, a young man named Owen Harper, warns Jack that if he gets punched again like last time, he’s going to punch back.  
The story was notable for an attempted bit of subterfuge: [[Indira Varma]] was included in the opening titles to suggest that her character, [[Suzie Costello]], was going to be a regular. Her death in the episode was meant to surprise the audience. Because [[BBC Three]] decided to air the first two episodes on the same night, however, the effect fell flat. Nevertheless, it did establish another recurring element of the programme: even main characters could die in ''Torchwood''. By the end of [[Series 4 (Torchwood)|series 4]], only two of the main cast listed in this episode would still be alive, namely Gwen and Jack.


Suzie gently places her gloved hand behind the head of the dead man and strange things begin to happen. First, the torrential rain stops instantly and then the lights around the area start to flicker. Then the eyes of the dead man open! Gwen watches from above in horror as the young man comes back to life and finds himself lying on the ground surrounded by strangers. The fourth member of Jack’s group, Toshiko Sato, tries to calm him and explains they only have two minutes. She tells him he’s dead, the victim of a single stab wound in the back, but she wants him to identify his killer. Sixty seconds left… Unfortunately the man can’t tell her anything as he was attacked from behind. Thirty seconds… Toshiko is lost for words, so Jack steps in and introduces himself. He asks the man what it was like when he died, what did he see? Ten seconds… The victim, John Tucker, replies that he didn’t see anything…and then he dies again. The torrential rain starts again, just as suddenly as it stopped. The group argue about whether it was a good idea to tell the man he was dead, but when they told the last victim he was only injured he spent the whole two minutes screaming for an ambulance. Perhaps there isn’t a right way to do this. Captain Jack suddenly looks up at Gwen and asks he what she thinks. Gwen jumps back in shock and races away from the car park.
22 October 2016 marked the 10th anniversary of ''Torchwood''. In celebration, and due to its popularity, cast and crew were invited to the Chapter Arts Centre in [[Cardiff]] for a special screening of this, the very first ever episode, to be shown for the fans.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160913041412/https://www.bafta.org/wales/whats-on/special-screening-10-years-of-torchwood BAFTA: 10 Years of Torchwood via the Wayback Machine]</ref>


As soon as she’s clear from the area Gwen stops for a moment and tries to make sense of what she’s seen. Later, she returns home and finds her boyfriend Rhys Williams sprawled out on the sofa watching television. They discuss normal, everyday things (including an old friend who dropped by earlier, and the rapid approach of middle age) and then Gwen goes to bed. But this was not a normal day for her and she cannot sleep.  
== Synopsis ==
The [[Torchwood Three]] team arrives at the scene of a brutal [[murder]]. [[Gwen Cooper|PC Gwen Cooper]]'s curiosity is challenged by their attitude; their approach and their technology is at odds with everything she believes in. As she investigates them, she begins to uncover a dark, mysterious and dangerous world right in the heart of [[Cardiff]].


The next morning at the police station, Gwen asks a colleague Yvonne to do a search for Captain Jack Harkness on the police database. Then she attends a briefing chaired by Detective Inspector Jacobs, who’s in charge of investigating three recent murders. All the victims, Sarah Pallister, Rani Ghosh and John Tucker were stabbed with the same weapon, but so far there’s nothing else to link them together. Gwen and Andy are called out to another job and on the way they discuss Torchwood. All anyone knows is that they’re Special Ops, which to Andy means they’re probably DNA specialists. They enter a pub and find themselves right in the middle of a massive brawl. The police officers get stuck in, but unfortunately Gwen is knocked back against a wall and badly hurts her head. Gwen is examined by a doctor at the local hospital and is given the all clear, but as she leaves, she spots Captain Jack racing up the stairs and she decides to follow. She reaches the top of the building, and is surprised to find Jack gone and the whole of the top floor cordoned off with police tape. She asks a passing porter if he knows anything about it, but all he can tell her is that the police sealed the area off earlier that morning. Something to do with chemicals, he thinks. Gwen decides to investigate further and steps nervously through the tape.  
== Plot ==
[[Gwen Cooper|PC Gwen Cooper]] arrives on a [[rain]]y [[murder]] scene, the third of a series of recent killings, and watches as the forensic investigation unit is pulled, mid-investigation, to allow special access to a four-man team in civilian clothing from [[Torchwood Institute]]. A forensic tech believes that Torchwood is some kind of [[special ops]] group. Gwen's concerned about crime scene contamination and spots a good vantage point on a parking garage and runs up there to observe the team at work.


She finds herself at the end of a long empty corridor. She calls out, but no one answers. Then a figure slowly shuffles out of a doorway at the far end. She can’t see him clearly from this distance, but as she cautiously approaches, she starts to realise there’s something odd about him. He’s dressed in a dark shiny boiler suit and is slightly hunched. But it’s his face that draws her attention. The closer she gets, the more it becomes clear that this is not a human face. It appears to be some sort of monster with furrowed ridges and large sharp teeth. As Gwen tries to question it, the hospital porter arrives with more information about the cordon and he too sees the creature’s face. He believes it’s a brilliant mask, like those seen in the film “Hellraiser”, but as he approaches the creature, it suddenly attacks him, biting straight through the jugular. As Gwen backs away in horror, Captain Jack and his colleagues burst out of a lift, and while he leads Gwen away, the others join forces to overpower the creature and capture it.
[[Jack Harkness|Captain Jack Harkness]] is waxing philosophical about the taste of contraceptives in the rain as his team sets up around the body. [[Owen Harper|Dr Owen Harper]] complains about the rain. [[Suzie Costello]] puts a metal [[Resurrection Gauntlet|gauntlet]] on her right [[hand]], then places her hand beneath the head of the [[corpse|murdered body]] and he revives. [[Toshiko Sato]] attempts to question the murder victim, but he takes some time to calm down, and he didn't see his murderer. They have some time remaining, and Tosh doesn't know what else to ask, but Jack does — he introduces himself and asks the victim his name — which is [[John Tucker]] — and he wants to know what death is like. John tells him he saw nothing and then falls dead again. Torchwood bickers over what went wrong until, suddenly, Jack yells up to Gwen, "What do you think?"


Gwen races downstairs and finds herself back in the main hospital, where everyone else is going about their business as usual. In the car park, she sees Captain Jack and the others being driven away in a vehicle with blackened out windows. She races to her police car and gives chase. As she pursues them across Cardiff, she radios through the licence plate number of the vehicle and finds it’s not registered. Her colleague Yvonne has completed the search on Captain Jack Harkness and reveals that the only person with that name and title was an American volunteer who went missing from RAF 133 Squadron on January 21st 1941 at the height at the Blitz. Gwen follows the vehicle to the Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru, also known as the Wales Millennium Centre, but as Jack’s group stroll towards the building she is distracted for a second and when she looks back, they’ve disappeared without a trace. PC Andy arrives, having walked there all the way from the hospital. She tells him about the death of the hospital porter, but when he checks he finds that all the staff have been accounted for. In any case, her boss is livid that she’s not reported back for duty. As Andy takes her home, they’re unaware that their every move is being watched from a scanner on top of the Millennium Centre.  
Gwen runs for it. When she makes it home, her [[boyfriend]] [[Rhys Williams]] is watching a drama. He mentions he saw the story of the murder on the news and Gwen lies, saying she wasn't involved. She lies awake in bed, watching the clock until at least 2 am.


Later, Rhys has cooked a meal for Gwen, but she pretends she’s been drafted in to do a second shift and will be working all night. However, she returns to the area where Jack and the others disappeared and continues her search. Before long she sees a local pizza delivery rider passing by, which gives her an idea. Still unaware that she’s being watched, she goes to the pizza shop and asks them to check whether a ‘Jack Harkness’ is one of their customers. He isn’t, but her second guess is more lucky - the shop receives regular orders from Torchwood. Later still, she arrives at the address she was given and enters a small tourist information office posing as a pizza delivery girl. A young man in a suit, who she’s not seen before, asks who the delivery is for and when she gives Jack’s name he operates a control which locks the door. Then the entire back wall of the office glides open and he tells her to go inside. She finds herself in a long, dark brick-walled corridor which ends with a lift. She enters and the lift starts to go down.  
The next morning, Gwen asks her friend [[Yvonne (Everything Changes)|Yvonne]] to do her a favour and look up Captain Jack Harkness. She serves beverages at a briefing about a series of murders, where they mention that the murders were done with the same weapon, some sort of blade. She and her partner respond to a bar brawl and Gwen gets a good knock to the head. She sees a doctor at the hospital and, as she's leaving, she catches sight of a man in a long coat heading up the stairs. She follows up the stairs to the top floor, which is sealed with plastic and caution tape. She hears a porter entering from the floor below and asks him who sealed off the top floor. He'd assumed it was the police or somebody spraying chemicals. She returns and pushes her way through the plastic. She sees what she assumes to be a [[Weevil|strange looking man wearing a mask]] at the other end of the floor. She asks if he's seen the man in the long coat, but there is no reply, only a soft growl. She keeps talking, with no response. The porter comes through, saying he asked around and couldn't find why it was sealed. He admires the workmanship of the mask, especially the teeth, when the creature bites him in the throat and his blood sprays.


Still carrying the pizzas, she leaves the lift and emerges into a gigantic room, consisting of several storeys, which appears to be a cross between a futuristic laboratory and a workshop. She sees many strange objects dotted around, including a disembodied hand kept alive in a tank The group she saw are all engaged in separate projects, but none of them reacts to Gwen’s presence - even Captain Jack who comes down from an upper floor and walks straight past her. Eventually the pressure of acting nonchalantly becomes too much for some of the group and they burst out laughing. Giving up any further pretence, Jack rebukes them for spoiling the joke before he was able to deliver the punchline, and also for being negligent enough to order pizzas under the name Torchwood! The group admit they’ve been watching Gwen walking around outside for the last three hours. She asks about the hospital porter and Jack admits he is dead. However, they’ve taken the body, retrospectively changed his work rota, planted a false witness who saw him leaving the hospital and given him an alibi for the next 48 hours, so that when his body is eventually pulled out of the docks next Tuesday he’ll have only been missing for three days.  
Jack bursts in, and as his team sprays the creature with something and hoods it, he rushes Gwen out of the hallway. She keeps running until she's outside, where she's catching her breath when the [[Torchwood SUV]] nearly hits her. She chases it in her patrol car, leaving her partner behind. She calls in the plate to control, and Yvonne asks if she's seeing ghosts, as there has been no Captain Jack Harkness save for an American volunteer that disappeared [[21 January]] [[1941]].


As a pterodactyl flies overhead, Jack takes Gwen down to the basement to meet the porter’s killer. He shows her into a cellar lined with cells made of reinforced glass. In the end cell she sees the creature from the hospital. Jack tells her it’s a Weevil, or at least that’s what Torchwood call it. There are a couple of hundred of them living in the sewers beneath Cardiff, but every once in a while one of them goes ‘rogue’ and comes to the surface to feed off people. It’s been happening more and more recently and nobody knows why. It’s an alien, born on another world - and it‘s real!
Gwen follows the SUV to the Wales Millennium Centre, where it drops off the four she'd seen before, and drives away. She quickly parks the patrol car and follows them, yelling to them, but they ignore her. Security distracts her, telling her she needs to move her car, and when she turns back they are gone. Control has no record of the plate, and her partner [[Andy Davidson]] shows up, complaining about the walk from the hospital. He says there is no staff missing from the hospital and takes her home.


Jack takes Gwen back to the others in the Hub and introduces them formally. Dr Owen Harper is an all-round genius, Toshiko Sato is their computer expert, Suzie Costello is their hardware specialist and is second-in-command, and Ianto Jones, the man who she saw in the tourist information office, is the one who looks after them and gets them where they need to be on time. Gwen realises she’s been given far too much classified information for her own good and wonders what they’re planning to do with her. Jack gives everyone last minute instructions, then they all bid each other goodnight and close down Torchwood for the night. Gwen is then led to a large flat stone on the floor and when she and Jack step on it, it becomes a lift that carries them both up to the ceiling…and then directly outdoors where they finds themselves at the foot of the Wales Millennium Centre. It’s a busy night but people are passing by without noticing anything untoward and Jack explains that it’s a perception filter. While they‘re standing on the stone they won’t register fully with people, as if they’re only faintly aware of seeing something out of the corner of their eye. He doesn’t know exactly how it works, but he suspects it had something to do with a dimensionally transcendental chameleon circuit that was once placed on the spot and had its properties welded to a spatial-temporal rift.  
Even though Rhys has dinner waiting, Gwen lies and says she needs to work. She stakes out the Millennium centre, eventually going to [[Jubilee Pizza]], where they say they deliver to Torchwood. Gwen brings [[pizza]] to a small office by the pier. She says they're for Mr Harkness, and [[Ianto Jones]] presses a buzzer and points her down a secret passage.


Jack takes Gwen for a drink in a nearby bar. He knows exactly what she’s going to ask, and jumps in first to ask why she doesn’t believe in aliens after everything that happened on Christmas Day in London, the battle of Canary Wharf and Cybermen in every home. Gwen’s boyfriend had already worked out that this was probably the result of terrorists putting hallucinogenic drugs in the water supplies. Jack thinks he sounds very stupid. The members of Torchwood catch aliens for a living, but they also scavenge the things they leave behind and find ways of using it to arm the human race for the future. The 21st century is when everything changes and Earth has to be ready. Torchwood is kept separate from the government, outside the police and beyond the United Nations, in order to prevent anyone getting access to their technology. Gwen wonders whether they can be trusted themselves, but he assures her none of them are allowed to take anything out of the base. Unfortunately, Jack is unaware that at that precise moment his team are already doing exactly that! Toshiko has taken home a strange device that can ‘scan’ an entire book in seconds and then download every page onto a computer, Owen is preparing for a night on the town and has brought with him a odd looking phial of ’aftershave’, and Suzie is experimenting with the metal glove, bringing a dead fly back to life.  
She enters [[Torchwood Three]] and a vault door rolls closed behind her, then a metal cage closes around the vault door. She gets her first view of [[the Hub]], including a water feature in the centre, a [[The Doctor's hand|severed hand]] in a bubbling container, and a woman welding. Jack walks down to a desk and they all ignore her... Until Owen and Tosh break down laughing, and we find they've been watching her stalk them for the last three hours. Jack immediately brings up the fact Gwen sneaked in as a pizza girl and asks his team, "And before we go any further, who the hell orders pizza under the name of Torchwood?" Owen replies back, "Me. I'm sorry. I'm a twat."


Jack explains that the base in Cardiff is actually Torchwood 3. Torchwood 1 was in London, but it was destroyed during the battle of Canary Wharf, Torchwood 2 is in Glasgow and is run by a very strange man, and Torchwood 4 has gone missing, but they’re hoping to find it again sometime soon. They’re based in Cardiff because there’s a rift in space and time running right through the city. The Weevils didn’t arrive in a spaceship, they just slipped through the rift. All sorts of things get washed up here: creatures, time shifts, space junk, debris. Gwen wants to liaise on the murder investigation, but Jack reveals they weren’t at the scene of the crime to track the killer but simply to test the alien glove. They have no interest in this case, they were only looking for freshly-killed murder victims because the more violent the trauma, the stronger the resurrection becomes. They’re too busy to help the police and they believe their work is more important. Gwen refuses to accept this and says she has a duty to tell the police about the glove. Jack says she’ll only be able to do this if she remembers…and he then asks if she enjoyed her drink. Gwen thinks she’s been poisoned, but he reveals he used an amnesia pill “with a touch of denial and a dash of ret-con“. When she wakes up in the morning she’ll have forgotten everything about Torchwood, including him.  
Gwen confronts them about what she has seen. Tosh says she covered up the murder of the porter, as it's her job to do so. Gwen dodges a [[pterodactyl]] as Jack takes her to show her the murderer, telling her it's an alien being they call a Weevil. He brings her back to the main room and introduces the team, over Gwen's protest that it's classified. Jack ignores her concern and gives everyone an assignment, including Gwen.


She moves to leave, but Jack tells her there was also a sedative in the drink and she’ll be asleep soon. As he disappears into the night, Gwen manages to make the journey home in extra-quick time and rushes to her computer where she types in hints and clues about Torchwood that she hopes will prompt her when she wakes up. But back at the Hub, Ianto has hacked into her computer and he manages to delete everything, just as she finally drops off to sleep.  
Jack takes Gwen out the [[Invisible lift|scenic route]], a [[granite]] slab that lifts them up to the pavement in front of the water tower, where she saw them disappear the night before. Jack demonstrates that the people walking by can't see or hear them until they step off the paving slab. She asks how it works, and he says he has no idea, but he might guess that "there was once a [[TARDIS|dimensionally transcendental chameleon circuit]] placed right on this spot, which welded its [[Perception filter|perception properties]] to a [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift|spatial-temporal rift]]."


Meanwhile, Owen is also visiting the pubs and bars of Cardiff City. He sees a young woman who interests him and makes a very weak attempt to chat her up before deciding he couldn’t be bothered to make the effort. Instead, he sprays himself with the alien ’aftershave’ and the woman immediately falls in love with him. She drags him out of the bar, but they’re stopped by her boyfriend who is ready to beat Owen up. Owen sprays himself again - and the husband also falls in love with him. As both the man and the woman fight over who is going to sleep with Owen first, he summons a taxi.  
They go to a bar, where Jack ridicules Gwen's disbelief after [[Sycorax invasion of Earth|the Christmas invasion]] and the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]]. He establishes that they catch aliens and scavenge their tech, and don't answer to anyone so that no one government can abuse the power. Gwen's pretty sure they can abuse it themselves, even if there's a rule about no tech leaving the base. They're the third Torchwood, and they're in Cardiff because there is a rift in Cardiff that drops all sorts of alien things there. Gwen assumes that they've been trying to solve the blade murders, but Jack tells her that's not what they're doing. They were only there to get practice using the [[resurrection gauntlet]], which requires recently deceased murder victims, the more violent the death, the better. Although Gwen feels she has a duty to act, Jack reveals that he's drugged her drink with an [[amnesia]] pill of Jack's design, laced with a sedative. She says she could just tell somebody else — and Jack threatens to do the same to anyone she tells. Gwen runs for home.


The next morning Gwen arrives at the police station and Yvonne asks her whether she had any luck tracing Captain Jack. Unfortunately Gwen doesn’t know what she’s talking about. In the incident room, she discovers the murder investigation has had a lucky break. Apparently the computer guys have come up with an accurate drawing of the murder weapon, a strange looking ornamental blade. She finds the picture oddly familiar, but she doesn’t know where she’s seen it before. Over the next day and night, Gwen can’t shake the image of the blade out of her head and she starts getting flashbacks. Then, she discovers a note that she’d hand-written the night before that simply says “remember” - and it’s written on the cover of a tour guide promoting the Wales Millennium Centre.  
Meanwhile, Tosh, Owen, and Suzie have all taken alien items from the base. Tosh scans a copy of ''[[A Tale of Two Cities]]'' with one touch and uploads it to her computer. Owen tries to pick up a girl, who shuts him down until he sprays himself with a spray bottle; then she grabs him, kisses him, and drags him out. Her boyfriend catches up with them and is about to punch him when Owen sprays himself again... and the boyfriend kisses him. Owen calls for a taxi. Suzie uses the gauntlet to resurrect a dead fly.


She returns to the Millennium Centre and tries to work out why it seems some familiar. From the shadows, another figure emerges - it’s Suzie Costello. Suzie tells Gwen she was right to suggest liaising with the police, and it was she that sent them the drawing of the blade. She gets the murder weapon out of her bag and Gwen realises that Suzie is the killer herself! Suzie had guessed that Gwen saw the knife during her visit to the Hub and she knows that one strong image is sometimes enough to override the amnesia. Realising that Gwen will put up a fight, she pulls out a gun. Torchwood will find out the truth about Suzie by the morning, but she plans to be gone by then. Gwen is the only other person who can make the link, so she must be killed. Suzie breaks down, confessing that she really loves her job, but it gets inside your head if you do it long enough. She thinks that alien life is filth, but maybe there’s better stuff - brilliant, beautiful stuff - still out there, waiting to be discovered. But this planet is so dirty it only seems to attract the nuts. She admits that she murdered the three people just so that she could experiment with the alien glove. The more killings she commits, the more control she has over the glove, so just think what she can do if she can get the glove to resurrect people permanently, not just for two minutes.  
Gwen is home, hurriedly typing notes about Torchwood. Her vision gets blurry and she makes more and more typos until she passes out. Ianto hacks into her home computer and erases her notes. In the morning, Rhys brings her a drink, worrying that she'd been drinking with a head injury. At work, Yvonne asks her about Captain Jack, and Gwen doesn't know what she's talking about. Over by the murder investigation, they've reconstructed the very odd blade weapon from the shape of the wounds. Gwen says she hasn't seen it, but she spends the rest of her day in a daze, until it is 2am and she is, again, awake and staring at the clock. As she closes her eyes to sleep, she remembers that she's seen the blade. She goes back to her computer room and draws the blade on the back of an envelope. She can't remember, but her mental image includes sparks and smoke. She sees a brochure for the Wales Millennium Centre with the word "REMEMBER" scrawled on it.


While they’re talking, Captain Jack slowly appears between them, standing on the perception filter stone which is rising out of the ground. He listens sadly as Suzie confesses to her guilt, admitting that she surrendered herself completely to the knife - and that is why the perception filter doesn’t work on her. Without warning, she swings round and shoots Captain Jack between the eyes. He falls to the floor, dead, and as his body drops off the stone, Gwen sees him for the first time. Suzie then turns the gun back to Gwen, but as she’s about to shoot her too, the dead body of Jack rises behind her and his gunshot wound miraculously heals itself. Realising it’s all over, Suzie decides to end it all and shoots herself in the head. As Gwen remembers everything, she falls to her knees in shock.  
Gwen goes to [[Roald Dahl Plass]], and Suzie is waiting for her outside the water tower. They face off next to the paving stones on either side of the lift. Gwen remembers the welding gear. Suzie pulls out the knife, saying she's the only one who bothered to read the police report, and she knew that the sight of the knife could break Gwen's amnesia. While Gwen tries to remember, Suzie fumbles with her bag and then pulls out a handgun, saying Gwen is the only person in the public that could make the link. She loves her job but it's driving her mad. She killed three people to practice with the glove, as she thinks that if she becomes good enough with it she could resurrect people permanently. While she is ranting, Jack comes up on the lift. Suzie continues to rant until she says that the perception filter doesn't work on her, and she shoots Jack in the forehead. Gwen gasps.


The remaining Torchwood group return their stolen items while Ianto places the alien glove and the knife into a secure section of the Hub. Sadly, Captain Jack covers Suzie’s corpse and lays her to rest in another part of the building. Later, Jack and Gwen stand on top of the Wales Millennium Centre and look out across the city landscape. She realises that the others in the group don’t know that Suzie killed Jack and that he came back to life. He admits that something happened to him a long time ago. He died and was resurrected, and ever since then he’s been indestructible. One day, if the right kind of doctor comes along, he might find out how it happened, but until then he wants Gwen to keep it a secret as it tends to freak people out. She wonders why he doesn’t just wipe her memory again, but he says he doesn’t want to do that. She was right when she pointed out that Torchwood doesn’t do enough to help people. They have a vacancy now and if she wants it, she can join them. She agrees.
Suzie cocks the gun and aims it at Gwen, who gasps again as Jack stands up behind Suzie. The hole in his head heals before their eyes. He says it's over, but Suzie has her own ideas about that. She shoots herself in the head and falls down as Gwen says, "I remember."

Ianto seals away the gauntlet and the knife in a lockbox. Owen and Tosh return their devices to the base. Jack zips Suzie's body into a bag and puts her into a cold storage facility in the Hub.
''To be added.''


== Cast & Characters ==
On top of the Millennium centre, Gwen asks why Jack didn't tell Owen and Tosh he was shot in the head and survived. Jack says that Gwen didn't tell them either. He confesses that he was killed a long time ago and [[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|brought back to life]], and since then he can't die. Maybe if he finds the right sort of [[The Doctor|doctor]] he can explain it. He doesn't tell people because it freaks them out, so he asks Gwen to keep it quiet.

== Notes ==
* This story had the working title ''"Flotsam and Jetsam"''.<ref>[http://www.shannonsullivan.com/doctorwho/torchwood/2006a.html?id=omahony Production Notes for Everything Changes]</ref>
* ''Everything Changes'' was transmitted back-to-back with ''[[Day One (TV story)|Day One]]'' on its UK premiere. The episode was repeated on its own on [[BBC Two]], three days later at 9:00pm on Wednesday [[25 October (releases)|25 October]] [[2006 (releases)|2006]].
* This is the only episode where [[Indira Varma]] has her name included in the opening credits. This was done to keep viewers from anticipating that her character would die in this episode, by making her seem like a regular cast member. She was also heavily featured in publicity materials released prior to the broadcast of the episode.
* As the first post-watershed production of the ''Doctor Who'' franchise, the episode features several firsts, including the first use of the F-word in a televised ''Doctor Who'' franchise production, along with a few other strong expletives. The frequency and intensity of swearing on ''Torchwood'' would be dialled back in its later seasons.
* Yvonne mentions [[21 January]] [[1941]] during [[the Blitz]] as the day Jack failed to report for duty. This would suggest that [[TV]]: ''[[The Empty Child (TV story)|The Empty Child]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Dances (TV story)|The Doctor Dances]]'' took place on the evening of [[20 January]] [[1941]].
* Owen shows bisexual tendencies when he first seduces a girl and then, more or less to avoid trouble, seduces her boyfriend too and goes off with both of them.
* After broadcasting, it was suggested that Owen's use of the [[perfume (Everything Changes)|pheromone spray]] in the episode was effectively "date rape".<ref>[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/a84181/cult-spy-catching-up-with-torchwood.html Cult Spy: Catching Up With 'Torchwood'] Accessed on 11th October 2008</ref>
* According to a [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] file in the 2011 episode ''[[The New World (TV story)|The New World]]'', Gwen is said to have joined Torchwood in [[October]] [[2006]]. [[Aliens of London dating controversy|This clashes with and contradicts dates given in several other stories]].
 
=== Deleted and edited scenes ===
* A pre-credits sequence of Gwen and Jack on top of the Millennium Centre in a flash forward to the end of the story was cut from the finished programme, but appears on the deleted scenes of the series one box set.
* A scene showing [[John Tucker]] being chased and murdered was shot but was eventually dropped.
* Two alternative scenes were shot showing Gwen being retconned — the one in a traditional bar was dropped in favour of the Buffalo Bar that was used for transmission.
* Several scenes were trimmed from the episode for broadcast on the [[CBC]] in Canada, including a scene in which Owen, using the pheromone spray, also seduces the blonde's angry boyfriend.

RealWorld.png

Everything Changes was the first episode in series 1 of Torchwood.

It introduced the programme's regular characters, as well as recurring elements such as the Hub, Myfanwy, retcon and the Torchwood SUV.

Written by Russell T Davies, it had the distinction of being his only writing credit until the third series. It also bore certain structural commonalities with Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], Davies's first episode of Doctor Who. Whereas the earlier script had introduced the mysterious Ninth Doctor through the eyes of Rose Tyler, Everything Changes introduced its audience to the mysterious figure of Captain Jack Harkness through female protagonist Gwen Cooper. Indeed, long-standing fans of Davies's work would have recognised the structure from as far back as his early-1990s children's TV programme, Dark Season.

The story was notable for an attempted bit of subterfuge: Indira Varma was included in the opening titles to suggest that her character, Suzie Costello, was going to be a regular. Her death in the episode was meant to surprise the audience. Because BBC Three decided to air the first two episodes on the same night, however, the effect fell flat. Nevertheless, it did establish another recurring element of the programme: even main characters could die in Torchwood. By the end of series 4, only two of the main cast listed in this episode would still be alive, namely Gwen and Jack.

22 October 2016 marked the 10th anniversary of Torchwood. In celebration, and due to its popularity, cast and crew were invited to the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff for a special screening of this, the very first ever episode, to be shown for the fans.[1]

Synopsis

The Torchwood Three team arrives at the scene of a brutal murder. PC Gwen Cooper's curiosity is challenged by their attitude; their approach and their technology is at odds with everything she believes in. As she investigates them, she begins to uncover a dark, mysterious and dangerous world right in the heart of Cardiff.

Plot

PC Gwen Cooper arrives on a rainy murder scene, the third of a series of recent killings, and watches as the forensic investigation unit is pulled, mid-investigation, to allow special access to a four-man team in civilian clothing from Torchwood Institute. A forensic tech believes that Torchwood is some kind of special ops group. Gwen's concerned about crime scene contamination and spots a good vantage point on a parking garage and runs up there to observe the team at work.

Captain Jack Harkness is waxing philosophical about the taste of contraceptives in the rain as his team sets up around the body. Dr Owen Harper complains about the rain. Suzie Costello puts a metal gauntlet on her right hand, then places her hand beneath the head of the murdered body and he revives. Toshiko Sato attempts to question the murder victim, but he takes some time to calm down, and he didn't see his murderer. They have some time remaining, and Tosh doesn't know what else to ask, but Jack does — he introduces himself and asks the victim his name — which is John Tucker — and he wants to know what death is like. John tells him he saw nothing and then falls dead again. Torchwood bickers over what went wrong until, suddenly, Jack yells up to Gwen, "What do you think?"

Gwen runs for it. When she makes it home, her boyfriend Rhys Williams is watching a drama. He mentions he saw the story of the murder on the news and Gwen lies, saying she wasn't involved. She lies awake in bed, watching the clock until at least 2 am.

The next morning, Gwen asks her friend Yvonne to do her a favour and look up Captain Jack Harkness. She serves beverages at a briefing about a series of murders, where they mention that the murders were done with the same weapon, some sort of blade. She and her partner respond to a bar brawl and Gwen gets a good knock to the head. She sees a doctor at the hospital and, as she's leaving, she catches sight of a man in a long coat heading up the stairs. She follows up the stairs to the top floor, which is sealed with plastic and caution tape. She hears a porter entering from the floor below and asks him who sealed off the top floor. He'd assumed it was the police or somebody spraying chemicals. She returns and pushes her way through the plastic. She sees what she assumes to be a strange looking man wearing a mask at the other end of the floor. She asks if he's seen the man in the long coat, but there is no reply, only a soft growl. She keeps talking, with no response. The porter comes through, saying he asked around and couldn't find why it was sealed. He admires the workmanship of the mask, especially the teeth, when the creature bites him in the throat and his blood sprays.

Jack bursts in, and as his team sprays the creature with something and hoods it, he rushes Gwen out of the hallway. She keeps running until she's outside, where she's catching her breath when the Torchwood SUV nearly hits her. She chases it in her patrol car, leaving her partner behind. She calls in the plate to control, and Yvonne asks if she's seeing ghosts, as there has been no Captain Jack Harkness save for an American volunteer that disappeared 21 January 1941.

Gwen follows the SUV to the Wales Millennium Centre, where it drops off the four she'd seen before, and drives away. She quickly parks the patrol car and follows them, yelling to them, but they ignore her. Security distracts her, telling her she needs to move her car, and when she turns back they are gone. Control has no record of the plate, and her partner Andy Davidson shows up, complaining about the walk from the hospital. He says there is no staff missing from the hospital and takes her home.

Even though Rhys has dinner waiting, Gwen lies and says she needs to work. She stakes out the Millennium centre, eventually going to Jubilee Pizza, where they say they deliver to Torchwood. Gwen brings pizza to a small office by the pier. She says they're for Mr Harkness, and Ianto Jones presses a buzzer and points her down a secret passage.

She enters Torchwood Three and a vault door rolls closed behind her, then a metal cage closes around the vault door. She gets her first view of the Hub, including a water feature in the centre, a severed hand in a bubbling container, and a woman welding. Jack walks down to a desk and they all ignore her... Until Owen and Tosh break down laughing, and we find they've been watching her stalk them for the last three hours. Jack immediately brings up the fact Gwen sneaked in as a pizza girl and asks his team, "And before we go any further, who the hell orders pizza under the name of Torchwood?" Owen replies back, "Me. I'm sorry. I'm a twat."

Gwen confronts them about what she has seen. Tosh says she covered up the murder of the porter, as it's her job to do so. Gwen dodges a pterodactyl as Jack takes her to show her the murderer, telling her it's an alien being they call a Weevil. He brings her back to the main room and introduces the team, over Gwen's protest that it's classified. Jack ignores her concern and gives everyone an assignment, including Gwen.

Jack takes Gwen out the scenic route, a granite slab that lifts them up to the pavement in front of the water tower, where she saw them disappear the night before. Jack demonstrates that the people walking by can't see or hear them until they step off the paving slab. She asks how it works, and he says he has no idea, but he might guess that "there was once a dimensionally transcendental chameleon circuit placed right on this spot, which welded its perception properties to a spatial-temporal rift."

They go to a bar, where Jack ridicules Gwen's disbelief after the Christmas invasion and the Battle of Canary Wharf. He establishes that they catch aliens and scavenge their tech, and don't answer to anyone so that no one government can abuse the power. Gwen's pretty sure they can abuse it themselves, even if there's a rule about no tech leaving the base. They're the third Torchwood, and they're in Cardiff because there is a rift in Cardiff that drops all sorts of alien things there. Gwen assumes that they've been trying to solve the blade murders, but Jack tells her that's not what they're doing. They were only there to get practice using the resurrection gauntlet, which requires recently deceased murder victims, the more violent the death, the better. Although Gwen feels she has a duty to act, Jack reveals that he's drugged her drink with an amnesia pill of Jack's design, laced with a sedative. She says she could just tell somebody else — and Jack threatens to do the same to anyone she tells. Gwen runs for home.

Meanwhile, Tosh, Owen, and Suzie have all taken alien items from the base. Tosh scans a copy of A Tale of Two Cities with one touch and uploads it to her computer. Owen tries to pick up a girl, who shuts him down until he sprays himself with a spray bottle; then she grabs him, kisses him, and drags him out. Her boyfriend catches up with them and is about to punch him when Owen sprays himself again... and the boyfriend kisses him. Owen calls for a taxi. Suzie uses the gauntlet to resurrect a dead fly.

Gwen is home, hurriedly typing notes about Torchwood. Her vision gets blurry and she makes more and more typos until she passes out. Ianto hacks into her home computer and erases her notes. In the morning, Rhys brings her a drink, worrying that she'd been drinking with a head injury. At work, Yvonne asks her about Captain Jack, and Gwen doesn't know what she's talking about. Over by the murder investigation, they've reconstructed the very odd blade weapon from the shape of the wounds. Gwen says she hasn't seen it, but she spends the rest of her day in a daze, until it is 2am and she is, again, awake and staring at the clock. As she closes her eyes to sleep, she remembers that she's seen the blade. She goes back to her computer room and draws the blade on the back of an envelope. She can't remember, but her mental image includes sparks and smoke. She sees a brochure for the Wales Millennium Centre with the word "REMEMBER" scrawled on it.

Gwen goes to Roald Dahl Plass, and Suzie is waiting for her outside the water tower. They face off next to the paving stones on either side of the lift. Gwen remembers the welding gear. Suzie pulls out the knife, saying she's the only one who bothered to read the police report, and she knew that the sight of the knife could break Gwen's amnesia. While Gwen tries to remember, Suzie fumbles with her bag and then pulls out a handgun, saying Gwen is the only person in the public that could make the link. She loves her job but it's driving her mad. She killed three people to practice with the glove, as she thinks that if she becomes good enough with it she could resurrect people permanently. While she is ranting, Jack comes up on the lift. Suzie continues to rant until she says that the perception filter doesn't work on her, and she shoots Jack in the forehead. Gwen gasps.

Suzie cocks the gun and aims it at Gwen, who gasps again as Jack stands up behind Suzie. The hole in his head heals before their eyes. He says it's over, but Suzie has her own ideas about that. She shoots herself in the head and falls down as Gwen says, "I remember."

Ianto seals away the gauntlet and the knife in a lockbox. Owen and Tosh return their devices to the base. Jack zips Suzie's body into a bag and puts her into a cold storage facility in the Hub.

On top of the Millennium centre, Gwen asks why Jack didn't tell Owen and Tosh he was shot in the head and survived. Jack says that Gwen didn't tell them either. He confesses that he was killed a long time ago and brought back to life, and since then he can't die. Maybe if he finds the right sort of doctor he can explain it. He doesn't tell people because it freaks them out, so he asks Gwen to keep it quiet.

He offers Gwen a job, and she accepts, as the pterodactyl flies overhead.

Popular Culture

Notes

  • This story had the working title "Flotsam and Jetsam".[2]
  • Everything Changes was transmitted back-to-back with Day One on its UK premiere. The episode was repeated on its own on BBC Two, three days later at 9:00pm on Wednesday 25 October 2006.
  • This is the only episode where Indira Varma has her name included in the opening credits. This was done to keep viewers from anticipating that her character would die in this episode, by making her seem like a regular cast member. She was also heavily featured in publicity materials released prior to the broadcast of the episode.
  • As the first post-watershed production of the Doctor Who franchise, the episode features several firsts, including the first use of the F-word in a televised Doctor Who franchise production, along with a few other strong expletives. The frequency and intensity of swearing on Torchwood would be dialled back in its later seasons.
  • Yvonne mentions 21 January 1941 during the Blitz as the day Jack failed to report for duty. This would suggest that TV: The Empty Child and TV: The Doctor Dances took place on the evening of 20 January 1941.
  • Owen shows bisexual tendencies when he first seduces a girl and then, more or less to avoid trouble, seduces her boyfriend too and goes off with both of them.
  • After broadcasting, it was suggested that Owen's use of the pheromone spray in the episode was effectively "date rape".[3]
  • According to a CIA file in the 2011 episode The New World, Gwen is said to have joined Torchwood in October 2006. This clashes with and contradicts dates given in several other stories.

Deleted and edited scenes

  • A pre-credits sequence of Gwen and Jack on top of the Millennium Centre in a flash forward to the end of the story was cut from the finished programme, but appears on the deleted scenes of the series one box set.
  • A scene showing John Tucker being chased and murdered was shot but was eventually dropped.
  • Two alternative scenes were shot showing Gwen being retconned — the one in a traditional bar was dropped in favour of the Buffalo Bar that was used for transmission.
  • Several scenes were trimmed from the episode for broadcast on the CBC in Canada, including a scene in which Owen, using the pheromone spray, also seduces the blonde's angry boyfriend.
